  • Dull and rather self indulgent

    Rated - 1.5 stars

    I dont think Ricky Gervais will ever be better than The Office. In this rather silly film he plays himself (more or less) and I dont see why there is such hype over him. This film is a typical hollywood film, big budget, named stars but hollow and false. Did not make me laugh much so it's not much of a comedy. The sort of film that you need not put on pause if you were going to make a coffee as when you return it's the same old boring tripe.

    We watched it on the plane, really funny, just like 'Extras' or 'The Office'. We'll get it on DVD now, as on the plane the screen was small and far away from us in the middle of the isle... worth watching on a proper TV.

  • The Invention of Not Blurting Every Thought!

    Rated - 0.5 stars  
    By a customer from Bo'ness , 20 Apr 2010
    Oh boy, such a shame! I am a big Ricky fan but this film was really bad. The idea was brilliant but something went wrong transfering it to the screen. It wasn't so much that no one could lie, more that they couldn't control the ability to not blurt out random insults. I watched it to the end but only to see if it redeemed it self in the ending... nope!
